Its products are used to build high-speed communication networks that carry voice, data and video traffic from fixed line, mobile and broadband networks over optical fibre.

The company has invested heavily in research and development in order to grow through multiple technology cycles and are well-positioned to capitalize on the expected growth in optical capital expenditure globally. Driven by rising smartphone penetration and a massive increase in data traffic, global optical capital expenditure is expected to increase from US$14.6 billion in 2014 to US$17.9 billion in 2020.

Should you invest:    

The issue looks quite expensive as at price of Rs 257, the PE ratio will come to 27 (FY17EPS). Also  the profits are quite fluctuating over last 5 years.

Some analysts think that it is good investment option as Indian market is “data” hungry and capex plan for telecom companies. But I think that telecom companies are going through the stress situation with low ARPU as well as Jio’s  entry etc.

Investor should be cautious while investing in this IPO. You can consider avoiding this IPO.
